MEDIOCRITY 


I've spent my life observing and then pondering this place.
And never has confusion ever ceased.
I've also heard a lot of exaltation for our kind
And sanctimonious reverence for peace.
The stories from our childhood condition us to think
That beauty is a basic human trait.
But how are they reconciled with daily realities
Like poverty and dominance and rape.
But you have to be
Stone cold dead
Not to see
Overwhelming incongruity.
As we search for some vestige of remedy
Mediocrity Mediocrity Mediocrity.
If you just sit back
And record what you see
The tragic and exquisite
Are the same to some degree.
But most events depict a common theme
There's far more disorder
Than there is harmony.
I'd say you've got to be
Stone cold dead
Not to see
Overwhelming incongruity.
It is pointless to search for teleology.
Mediocrity Mediocrity Mediocrity......
